13 Months Old

Megan is now 13 months old! She has made such progress over the past almost 3 months. She can now:

  • Stand for a few seconds without holding onto anything.
  • She signs "more" all the time...even when she's sleeping! (I've witnessed this.)
  • She loves being outside.
  • She praises the dogs when they go potty by clapping her hands saying "hey, doggie!"
  • She can play by herself for quite a while (if she's feeling well).
  • She now has 4 teeth (the top 2 have come in now). She's working on 2 more.
  • She grinds/grits her teeth...yes, the top 2 are barely poked through and you can hear her grinding/gritting away. Funny thing is, I used to grind/grit my teeth when I was little. It's a horrible sound!
  • She weighs over 18lbs! And is over 28 inches tall. That means since our updated information before we traveled, she's gained almost 6lbs and grown about 4 inches. That's a lot for 10 weeks
She is such a joy...even when she's whining all day (aka yesterday!). We love her to pieces. Every time I rock her to sleep and see her peaceful sleep I give prayers of thanksgiving for the little squirt.

On a sad note...please pray for one of my cousins and his family. My cousin, Nathan, committed suicide on Fathers Day. He was in his late 20s and newly married with a young child. I cannot imagine the pain, sorrow and frustration his wife, siblings and parents are feeling. Pray that God would bring them comfort and peace.

She's grow so much. She'll be running around and talking up a storm before you know it.

Sorry about your cousin. I will pray for the family.

My son grinds his teeth, too. It is a horrible sound.

I have been following your blog since you traveled to China. Megan is beautiful, you have made tremendous progress.
